I used to love me some craigslist.
The Best Of is some of the funniest stuff I’ve ever read. I also got an awesomely cheap couch from some chick off of there. It taught me the word “asshat”. And I can never resist peeking in Missed Connections to see if anyone saw me and posted their undying love for me. (That’s pathetic, I know.) Anyways, the local craigslist also has the requisite Rants and Raves section but it’s just awful.
The entire last week, the only thread of discussion is angry people posting about whores. C-ville women are “seething whores”, apparently. We all “suck ass”. And all the waitresses in town are whores and “closet drunks”. A total hate-fest. And that’s what you’re not missing right now. Now get off the internets and go to bed.

Thor and I think craigslist is great.
I wrote about it here.
He posted a fake job (hilarious!) and wrote about it here.
We post real jobs on craigslist, too.
Oy brought me over from craigslist. RnR is a pit of stupidity now.
Not that I’ve done much to raise the bar over here…
Thanks, Lil, but that wasn’t the point.
The point was that the RnR sucks. That it hasn’t gotten any better since your July post. And that it makes me glad to be able to rant and rave on here. :p
Why read rants?
Because it’s the most entertaining section of CL, and the C-ville for that matter. And a lot of this site could be easily classified as fitting typical CL ‘rants and raves’ content, though it’s more to the rave side and less rant (aside from when Thor is going on about the wine guild).
They make me feel pissed off. So much of the world does that anyway, why add to it?
cue ‘internet tough guy’ telling you to cram it.
